1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Graphene-wrapped ZnO nanocomposites were fabricated by a simple solvothermal technology with a one-pot route. The structure and morphology of these as-fabricated samples were systematically characterized. The adding of graphene enhanced the content of the oxygen vacancy defect of the sample. All gas-sensing performances of sensors based on as-prepared samples were thoroughly studied. Sensors displayed an ultrahigh response and exceptional selectivity at room temperature under blue light irradiation. This excellent and enhanced toluene gas-sensing property was principally attributed to the synergistic impacts of the oxygen vacancy defect and the wrapped graphene in the composite sensor. The photo-activated graphene-wrapped ZnO sensor illustrated potential application in the practical detection of low concentrations of toluene under explosive environments.
